Absolutely sparkling music. The whole folk music thing very much to the fore in the early 20th Century. This reminds me of similar works by Bartok, or Enescu and there are echoes of Tzigane in the first movement. What a fantastic piece!
The comment that there is "nothing too deep" in this lovely work misses the point. This piece was written on a commission from an American man who specified that he wanted a work based on Irish folk tunes. Martin went to the library (in Paris, I believe) and out of his researches chose melodies that attracted him. The sponsor, however, was disappointed that he didn't recognize any of the tunes and - if I remember correctly - refused to pay the composer; the latter characteristically said he was glad to have gotten a good piece out of the experience. In his "early" years, roughly 1910-1937 - i.e., prior to the definitive formation of his mature style - Frank Martin wrote a great deal of chamber music, much of it quite deep and obviously in some sense more personal than this work. Nonetheless, the middle movement of this Trio in particular I find mysteriously moving, and the entire piece certainly deserves its continuing popularity with performers and audiences. P.S. The painter's name is Winslow Homer (American, 1836-1910).
First, I heavily qualified my mild criticism first with reasons why it’s a fine piece, so I certainly didn’t miss any point; I got your exact point, and wrote it-that it is fine, well-written, and, despite it’s not being very deep, is well worth a listen. Then, just as a technical matter, plenty of pieces based on folk music are very deep, Irish melodies or otherwise. In the end, great to share this great trio with you and others.

Fantastic!

The rythm in the first part is confusing when you take the instruments apart, its a great piece! Absolutely beautiful

Sparkling and well-written. Nothing too deep, but why not?
